Root unable to change services on F8

["Adam Huffman" <adam huffman gmail com>]

Recently I've been unable to start/stop services when running su -
root in a terminal of an X session.

The error I see is:

service certmaster status
env: /etc/init.d/certmaster: Permission denied

In permissive mode, the command succeeds.  In that terminal root is:

unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh

If I login as root on the console, the command succeeds.  However, I
prefer not to do that too often as it sometimes causes X to crash.
On the console, root is

system_u:system_r:unconfined_t
